Have you noticed that right up to this hour the President’s campaign is not aimed to appeal to the center? Class warfare remains paramount in his strategy. He is sacrificing his likeability in the closing days in an effort to strengthen his appeal is to the far left. John Heilemann explained the strategy back in May when he wrote “Hope: The Sequel,” for the New York magazine
Stanley Kurtz puts it in simpler words,
He’s shooting for a “realignment.” Obama is trying to shape a new kind of electorate, creating a long-term Democratic majority that would allow him and his successors to stop catering to the center and finally govern decisively from the left.
Obama and his advisors never abandoned their quest to shape a permanent leftist majority, a coalition that would forever put an end to Clintonian triangulation and usher in unfettered leftist Obamaism instead. Obama’s frantic efforts to gin up the women’s vote and the youth vote aren’t only desperate attempts to secure his base. They flow from a deliberate decision not to fight for the center, but to build an independent majority on what is supposedly the “demographically ascendent” left.
Obama is going for broke, the whole magilla, Reno or bust, all or none and he is almost there. Look at how close the polls have remained. It’s a strategy guaranteed to lose some votes from the swing voters in the middle. With polls narrowing to the region of 47 to 49 percent for each candidate, Bill Clinton would appeal to the center to win the prize. Obama is not about to do that; it’s against his religion, metaphorically so to speak.
The President is counting on voter fraud, community organizing style, to pull him through with little ACORNs working quietly around the country and Somalis being bused in to Ohio to vote. The Democratic demolition team is threatening the very infrastructure of the American voting process. Don’t let that happen. Vote.
